“Continuous innovation is imperative to driving Canadian growth
and competitiveness, and we will be working closely with our
Canadian clients at the Liquid Studio to use new technologies and
ways of working to solve their most significant business
challenges,” said Steve Convey, managing director, Accenture

The Liquid Studio accelerates innovation by using rapid
development approaches including Agile methodologies and DevOps,

Studio will be supplemented by Accenture’s alliance ecosystem,
start-ups, and organizations like the Vector Institute, among
others.
“Through immersive workshops, organizations will receive
tangible, hands-on experience of how their business can benefit
from the most disruptive technologies, such as artificial
intelligence and augmented reality,” Convey said. “By leveraging
agile teams, a start-up culture and multi-speed, microservice and
cloud-based architectures, organization will see more value quickly
and easily.”
The Liquid Studio in Toronto is one of several new Accenture
initiatives in Canada, which include expanded investments in
training and hiring, aimed at driving innovation locally.
